Name: Mohammad Azhar
Home Town: Liaquatabad, Karachi
Business: LPG & Cell Phone Cards Reseller
Mr. Mohammad Azhar has an agency for LPG. He has
been in this business for about 5 years now and
is running two outlets. He has now diversified
in a small way by keeping mobile phone cards in
both his shops and investing in property –
buying and selling. His LPG customers are mostly
owners of taxis and small Suzuki transport
vehicles as well as a few private cars. He has
two employees and feels that this much staff is
sufficient in his line of business.
He was amongst the first customers to avail of
Tameer’s services in January 2007. He said
Tameer has done a great service to the
Liaquatabad community by opening its branch
here. He has not had any issues with the bank
staff. All are extremely helpful and courteous.
An ATM is a much needed requirement at the
branch. This will greatly facilitate shopkeepers
and small businesses with work hours up to 9 pm
to enable them to make payments to daily wage
employees and suppliers of goods. A lot of cash
cannot be kept lying around in shops due to
security reasons.
